US EditionSchumer looks to force vote to repeal increased tariffs on Canada
WESTERN NEW YORK, AUG 5 – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer plans a vote to repeal 35% tariffs that caused a nearly 20% drop in Canadian travelers, harming Western New York's tourism and small businesses.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pledged to force a Senate vote to repeal the 35% tariffs on Canadian imports when Congress returns, following his announcement in Niagara Falls.
- President Donald Trump began the trade measures by introducing a 25% tariff on Canadian imports earlier this year and later raised it, citing efforts to combat illicit drug flows and support U.S. manufacturing.
- Statistics reveal that border crossings into Western New York have decreased, and families in Upstate New York face higher costs due to tariffs, according to reports.
- Schumer also urged New York House Republicans to support the repeal to protect small businesses and regional tourism.
- However, the proposal to force a vote in September faces resistance after a similar effort failed in April, Schumer says.
